A Queen tribute band hand-picked by a member of the former legendary band is coming to Southend.
Queen Extravaganza, backed by original Queen members Roger Taylor and Brian May, is set to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band's monumental hit, Bohemian Rhapsody.
The much-anticipated tribute tour will feature performances at 25 venues throughout the UK and Ireland, including a special show at the Southend Cliffs Pavilion on February 28.
Speaking about Queen Extravaganza, Roger Taylor said: "We hand-pick the most incredible musicians for Queen Extravaganza – and they do a fantastic job honouring our songs. It’s a great show, designed to celebrate the legacy of Queen for fans of all ages."
Brian May added: "QuEx is something unique - not just a tribute band, but an extension of the Queen family, whose dedication to excellence is now legendary. The Queen Extravaganza Will Rock You!."
Alongside Bohemian Rhapsody, the band will also cover other huge hits including We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, and Radio Ga Ga.
Tickets will go on sale from Friday, July 12 at 10am via queenonline.com/quex and ticketmaster.co.uk.
